What’s Next Experience at TenSpace
5 – 8 pm Tenspace 930 N High St.
Every Next needs a North(west) Star and the momentum to follow it. The For What’s Next experience at TENSPACE, presented by Northwest Bank, is a free, self-guided journey through color, hands-on moments, and thought-provoking prompts designed to help guests name what they want, understand why it matters, and take a meaningful step toward it. From spinning a compass to uncover your direction to contributing your own story to a living mosaic of “Nexts,” the experience brings clarity to what once felt distant and makes it feel possible. The experience opens during Gallery Hop on Saturday, May 2 from 5–8 PM, with complimentary gift bags available for the first 100 guests. Each visitor leaves with a clear next step, carrying the experience beyond the space and into real life with Northwest Bank, there for what’s next. learn more
